PREFACE. 



In recent years many cities and towns in this country, more 
especially in New England, have become interested in collecting 
and preserving historical data. Communities which have not 
been indifferent to progress in other matters have evinced a 
strong desire to gather the scattered threads of historic value, 
cherishing the hope that from the tangled skein might be evolved 
the story of a people's worth. 

In cities and towns which possess abundance of material for 
civic pride, this spirit has become a settled policy and the prin- 
ter's art is being freely used to perpetuate the records of the 
past. 

For many years past, the necessity of copying and preserv- 
ing in some permanent form the early records of the Town 
of Cambridge was evident to any person who had occasion 
or desire to scrutinize the original records. 

That this City possesses records which have successfully 
survived the occurrences of two hundred and sixty years is 
indeed a source of congratulation, but an examination of the 
pages reveals the ravage of time, and the probability that in a 
few years practical use of these records will be impossible. 

Mr. Walter W. Pike, late City Clerk, was fully cognizant 
of the need of preservative action, and requested of the City 



iv PREFACE. 

Council authority to commence the work of copying and 
printing. This request met with a hearty response, as is here- 
after recited, and the work was begun with an ardor and interest 
which bespoke its rapid and successful completion. 

By the death of Mr. Pike, however, the task of continuing a 
work which had been so well begun necessarily fell upon his 
successor in office. 

In his inaugural address, delivered January i, 1894, His 
Honor, Mayor Bancroft, recommended that the expediency of 
publishing the old Records of Newtowne and the Town of 
Cambridge, together with the Records of the Proprietors of 
Common Lands, be considered by the City Council. Acting 
upon this recommendation, the matter was intrusted to the 
Committee on Printing for that year, — Aldermen Bleiler 
and James, and Councilmen Reid, Allen, and Whitmore. 
This Committee, believing that preservation in type of these 
old records of the early town was of paramount importance, 
and after careful deliberation, reported favorably, as the follow- 
ing order passed by the City Council on March 15, 1894, at 
its request, will show, viz. : — 

" Ordered: That the City Clerk be authorized to prepare a printer's copy 
of the Proprietors' Records of Cambridge suitable for publication, and at an 
expense not exceeding the sum of five hundred dollars, the same to be charged 
to the appropriation for Incidental Expenses." 

Under the direction of Mr. Pike, then City Clerk, the task 
of preparing a correct copy of the Records of the Proprie- 
tors was immediately commenced. 



PREFACE. V 

The printer's copy from the pages of the original record was 
prepared by Miss Sarah S. Jacobs of this City. Her great ex- 
perience and knowledge of old town methods rendered her 
familiar with the demands of the work, while her intelligence 
and readiness in deciphering the old manuscript insured a cor- 
rect translation of the original text. Entirely in sympathy with 
the project of printing the old records of Cambridge, the prepa- 
ration of the copy, laborious and irksome though it was, has 
been on her part largely a labor of love, — a fact conclusively 
proven by a careful examination of these pages. 

Besides the preparation of the printer's copy, and of the in- 
dexes, Miss Jacobs has also read and compared the pages of 
proof matter, — no small task when it is known that every 
word has been scanned in order that not a letter or punctuation- 
mark should differ from the original manuscript. 

Before the close of the year 1894 the copy was completed, 
and on May 15, 1895, Mayor Bancroft approved an order of 
the City Council, authorizing the City Clerk to cause to be 
printed one thousand copies. 

A contract for printing was executed with the " University 
Press " of this City, and the work has been steadily pushed to 
completion. The excellent typographical appearance of these 
pages is due to the foresight and skill of the members of this 
printing-establishment, who have suggested freely of their 
knowledge during the progress of the work. 

The original Records of the Proprietors are contained in three 
volumes. The first volume embraces the period from 1634 to 
1 74 1, and contains a few detached records as late as 1808. 



vi PREFACE. 

There is also a separate record at the end of the volume, ex- 
tending from 1636 to 1697. The second volume embraces 
the period from 1751 to 1773. The third volume embraces the 
period from 1784 to 1829. 

In 1841, by order of the Selectmen, a transcript of the origi- 
nal records was made by Rev. Lucius R. Paige, then Clerk 
of the Town. This copy has been of very great assistance 
in the compilation of the present volume, although its value 
as a literal transcript is diminished on account of its modern 
orthography. 

For a clearer understanding of the scope of this work, and of 
the signs used in printing, the following explanatory remarks 
are made. It has been the intention to present in this volume 
all and the same information which a perusal of the manuscript 
would present to the reader. No attempt has been made to 
modernize the text, or to make corrections of any description. 
From page 1 to page 391, the book is a reproduction of the 
originals, except the introduction of the title, paging, and ex- 
planatory marks and foot-notes. 

Throughout this volume the dates of the entries do not ap- 
pear consecutively in all cases, but the dates are published 
in the exact order in which they appear in the originals. It 
has not been deemed advisable to place them in consecutive 
order, except when such order was in agreement with the 
original text. 

The figures at the top of the pages indicate the paging of the 
transcript. The heavy figures enclosed in brackets represent 
the paging of the original book in its present condition. 



PREFACE. vii 

The title " Proprietors' Records " has been used, in the belief 
that the appearance of the book would be thereby improved. 

Brackets enclosing a blank space, thus, [ ], signify that 
something is missing from, or illegible in the original. Carets, 
a, show that a letter or letters in a word are missing. When- 
ever a star, *, appears on a page it refers to a foot-note on that 
page. 

In the original records, pages 115, 116, 158, 159, 160, 290, 
and 291 are blank, and no corresponding heavy figures in 
brackets appear in the transcript, nor is there an explanatory 
foot-note. Page 171 is repeated both in the original and in 
the copy. With these exceptions any changes from the rules 
herein stated have been noted in foot-notes and indicated by 
stars. 

On page 367 is printed what is marked as page 30 of 
the original Volume No. 2. This placing agrees with the 
manuscript as it now exists, although there is a doubt of its 
correctness. 

With these explanatory remarks, it is believed that an in- 
telligent perusal of the volume is within the reach of the 
reader.

[294] Cambridge August 19*? 1767. 

At a meeting of the Selectmen of said Town upon application made 
to thim by the Rev? M r Daniel Rogers of Littleton giving said Select- 
men to understand that he Consents to fence out a way in his farm 
Scituate lying & being on the Rocks in said Cambridge formerly be- 
longing to the Rev? M r John Whiting of Concord for the accomoda- 
tion of M r James Perry & others in Consequence of their desire & pur- 
suant to an Antient Vote of the Proprietors in said Town, where no 
way hath been laid out. 

The s d Selectmen upon mature Consideration had made Choice of 
the Hon w : e William Brattle Esq 1 : & Cap' : Ebenezer Stedman ; the Rev? 
Mf Dan| Rogers made Choice of Cap* : Ephraim Frost jun r & Mf William 
Dana both Selectmen of said Cambridge to joyn with the first named 
Selectmen; the said William ; Ebenezer, Ephraim & William to be ,the 
Committe to lay out said way for the purpose aforesaid ; The Selectmen 
& Committe are very Sensible that on the 10 th of January 1705 there 
was a Similar Application to this made by M r Thomas Whittemore a 
Tenant on said Whitings Farm, now said Rogers's, But not by the said 
Whiting that we could learn Either by the Proprietors Records or any 
otherwise, nor doth it appear that Application was then made to the 
Selectmen by any other person living, but by the said Whittemore ; 
who Considered as a Tenant had no Right to apply or the Selectmen 
to Grant his Request & pofsible the whole was done without the said 
Whitings knowledge; yet so it was a way was then laid out in Conse- 
quence of said Application through s d : Whitings farm, now said Rogers's 
on the Rocks aforesaid, But the way was never fenced out or Trod to 
this day that any one living can tell, for where said way was then laid 
out (Viz. 1 ) from the Road leading from Menotomy to Watertown to 
Nicholas Fefsendens Corner cannot pofsibly be afsertained in the whole, 
But by that part of said way which is known it manifestly appears that it

cant now nor Could it ever accomodate any persons land that way, 
which pofsibly might be the Reason why it never was used or fenced of; 
Wherefore upon the whole the same Cannot in law or Equity be looked 
upon as a way according to the True Intent & meaning of the Vote of 
the Proprietors aforesaid any more then if it had never been layed out, 
therefore in lieu thereof, & that the said James Perry & others might be 
accomodated with [295] a way through s d Rogers s land on the Rocks

We whose names are under written a Committe aforesaid for the 
purpose aforesaid Do this 19 th of August 1767. hereby order & Deter- 
mine that the pafsage way through said Rogers's farm on the Rocks 
aforesaid formerly said Whitings land for the accomodation of the said 
James Perry & others in lieu of the way aforesaid be as follows, (Viz') 
To begin at the Stone wall near to the Gate where there are two horse 
Blocks one Standing on the Kings way leading from Menotomy Meet- 
ing house to Watertown ; the other Standing in M r Rogers's Pasture 
leading to the s d Perrys house to begin from the said Rogers's Stone wall 
near to said Gate & on the Right hand thereof leading to said Perrys 
house measuring Two Rods from said Wall towards the opposite Wall 
thereto & so Runing Exactly as said first mentioned Wall Runs to the 
Corner thereof, & from thence near Strait to a Stake & heap of Stones,

Agreeable to the annexed Instructions, we the Subscribers have 
been & viewed one lot of land belonging to Noah Rufsell on the second 
division which lot was according to the best information now to be 
obtained was laid out to one Blowers & we find that said Blowers' 
lot laiys at the head of a lot laid out to Lieut. Remington in the 
first division from the road that was formerly laid out from Watertown 
line to Cooks Mills. We also find, that about the year 1726. that a 
Committee was on said Remington's lot & did lay out a road through 
the same in order to accomodate said Blower's lot, & from a change 
of property we find that it is not necefsary to continue said road any 
further, nor to have a pafsage laid out through said Blowers or Ruf- 
sell lot. 

July 3. 1797. We also proceeded to view Two lots on said second 
division one belonging to Jon a Robbins the other to said Noah Rufsell, 
which two lots, we beleive, was formerly laid out to Richard Cutter & one 
Swan, & are of opinion, that a pafsage way thro said lots is necefsary to 
be laid out & have staked out the same as follows, Viz. Beginning at the 
head of a lot in the first division, belonging to Samuel Rufsell, being 
the Northerly of said pafsage and continuing the same course 

at the head of Ephraim Cook's lot as the Wall now stands, until] it 
comes within Two rods at the westerly side of said Noah Rufsell's lot 
to a stake & stones ; then turning Southerly at the side of said Rufsell's 
lot about four rods to another stake & stones, said pafsage not A be 
lefs than two rods wide, and are also of opinion, that the said Robbins 
& Rufsell may inclose the rest of their lots. —
